Once you uninstall, try starting regedit, going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Slitherine and delete the BBCBA folder in there.

After uninstall I find This folder is empty.

OK - well it sounds like it uninstalled correctly. If you reinstall, you should find the BA.EXE file in your install folder. If this doesn't happen then something on your system is preventing it from being installed, and without the game executable, it's obviously tough to play the game...

You could try disabling your virus checker suite (which one are you using btw?) while installing the game to see if that helps.

Cheers

Have you tried installing to a different folder to see if that makes any difference. It really is very bizarre. If the installer was failing to write the file it would tell you, so something must be removing it after it gets copied to the disk.

What happens if you try and apply the 1.6.1 patch on top - that would write a new EXE into the folder.

During all of this, are you installing Battle Academy first, and then the expansions, then the patch?
You can call me junk - and type that with one hand.

What message do you get when you attempt to play a mission?

If you press the Register Expansions button on the launcher, does it show BF as being registered?

Cheers

The register button is greyed out. When I click on the unlock expansions button the next window asks for the serial number for Blitzkreig france expansion pack.. I do not have the serial number.

That would explain why you can't play it for sure :). The serial would have been needed to install the BF expansion in the first place. Is it listed on your My Page entry - if not then let us know and we can look it up I would imagine and resend it.
